1 Freire, JulianaDesigning information-preserving mapping schemes for XMLAn XML-to-relational mapping scheme consists of a procedure for shredding XML documents into relational databases, a procedure for publishing databases back as documents, and a set of constraints the databases must satisfy. In previous work, we discussed two notions of information preservation for m...Losslessness; Validation; Mapping scheme; Edge++; LILO; Lossless Inlining; Lossless Outlining; XML Schema2005
2 Riloff, Ellen M.Exploiting subjectivity classification to improve information extractionInformation extraction (IE) systems are prone to false hits for a variety of reasons and we observed that many of these false hits occur in sentences that contain subjective language (e.g., opinions, emotions, and sentiments). Motivated by these observations, we explore the idea of using subjecti...Subjectivity classification; Information extraction; Subjectivity analysis; MUC-42005
3 Brunvand, Erik L.HDL modeling for analysis and optimization of asynchronous controllersWe propose a simulation-based technique for analysis and optimization of extended burst-mode (XBM) asynchronous controllers.
